SIGN POSTING: At least fifteen (15) days preceding the commission's public hearing, the Zoning Administrator or
designee shall erect on the property, subject to the above -referenced application(s), a sign (or signs) indicating the
property is to be subject to public hearing and referencing how to obtain additional information regarding such hearing.
The sign shall be erected within ten (10) feet of whatever boundary line of such land abuts a public road and shall be so
placed as to be clearly visible from the road. If more than one such road abuts the property, then a sign shall be erected
in the same manner as above for each such abutting road. If no public road abuts thereon, then signs shall be erected in
the same manner as above on at least two boundaries of the property abutting land not owned by the applicant. The filing
of the petition or application shall be deemed to grant consent to the Zoning Administrator or designee to enter upon the
property and to erect the signs.
Upon a finding by the Board of Supervisors that failure to comply with the posting requirements of this section has denied
the public reasonable notice of the public hearing, the Board may defer action on the petition or application until
reasonable notice by posting is given.
The applicant shall exercise due diligence to protect the sign or signs erected, pursuant to section 33.38, from vandalism
and theft; maintain the sign or signs in the location or locations in an erect position as placed by the Zoning Administrator
or designee; and ensure that such sign or signs remain legible. Failure to comply with these responsibilities may be
grounds for the Commission or the Board of Supervisors to defer action on the petition or application until there is
reasonable compliance.
Any sign erected pursuant to section 33.38 shall remain the property of the Board of Supervisors. It shall be unlawful for
any person, except the applicant performing maintenance required by this section or the zoning administrator or an
authorized agent of either, to remove or tamper with any sign erected pursuant to section 33.38. All such signs shall be
removed by the Zoning Administrator or designee within fifteen (15) days following the Board of Supervisor's final action
on the petition or application or the applicant's withdrawal of the petition or application.
Should you have any questions regarding the procedure for posting of signs, please do not hesitate to contact the Zoning
Administrator, Bart Svoboda at bsvobodaealbemarle.ora.
